1201m is great, one of the best blanks around. The butt of that rod has plenty power. Keep in mind that many giant fish are hooked within 50' of the rocks there. Learn to fish the shelfs there right on the bank. Short cast with an eel, let it sink, and swing it. Night time is always good, the breaking tides get all the hype.
I landed a 49" fish in about 15-20 seconds. It hit a polaris about 15' from shore , i turned its head and a few sweeps of the tail and she was at my feel, coulda done it with a snoopy rod.
